Ariel Winter was just a kid when she started on ‘Modern Family.’ Celebrate the star’s 26th birthday with her best photos!

All grown up! Ariel Winter has gone from adorable, pint-sized starlet to a gorgeous Hollywood celeb since she was first introduced to showbiz. Ariel, born Jan. 28, 1998, became a primetime darling in 2009 when she debuted as middle child Alex Dunphy on the ABC sitcom Modern Family. Over the years, Ariel didn’t only come into her talents as a young performer, but she became a bonafide star with some big projects on her plate!

Through the spotlight and major awards events, Ariel has always been so poised. Whether she is gracing the small screen or making an appearance on the red carpet, it’s wild to see just how much Ariel has come into her own, both as a star and as a fashionista.

No stranger to the red carpet, Ariel loves a daring look. But Ariel didn’t become a TV star overnight! See how she carved a path from bookish child actor to a fierce fashionista in our gallery of then and now photos, right here.
